harry reid and obama said absolutely not. they wouldn't even bring it to a vote. you are dealing with something that was always part of the cake. they are blaming insurance companies because they want to say we tried the private exchanges. we tried it with the private insurance company and it didn't work so now we have all these people dependent on the program and we have to go to single payer. martha: a few weeks back you have democrats calling republicans anarchists and terrorists because they wanted to hold up the debt deal. >> there would be a republican governor in virginia if there had not been a government shutdown. but this is not about politics. it's about doing what's right to give every american access to healthcare. we have to put politics aside. >> without nationalizing 1/5 of the national economy. this is completely ideological. >> it am not benghazi or any of this, it touches so many people. see you next time. bill: the country music award were rocking out last night. but some of country's biggest stars taking the stage. brad paisley and carry under

is there enough pressure for harry reid to do this or not? >> yeah. this is the question. a lot of it depends on how the mainstream media treats this. if you see the media, and i think it's the way they've treated these votes largely last week with sort of a shrug of the shoulders saying this is republicans yet again trying to derail this thing that's already established law, that seems to be the way they do it, and that relieves some of the pressure on harry reid to take this up. on the other hand, the polls remain low for this law. we know that the implementation isn't going well. the selling of obamacare has hit a number of snags throughout the course of the summer and is expected to throughout the fall. i think there's additional trouble, and the question is whether that environment creates the additional pressure that forces the senate to do something. will: all right. -- bill: all right, listen to boehner's words here, he says, quote: the testimony contact senators know this law was unwork bl. i would not be so quick to say they're never going to take this up. what d

reid? he is saying this. we can no longer stand silent in faces of the elements of the affordable care act that will destroy the health and well-being of members and the other americans. we have the chair of the national labor relations board under president george w. bush. peter, welcome. good to have you here. >> thank you, good to be here. martha: a lost folks are surprised by this letter but you say you're not so surprised? >> no, not at all. the unions are haunted now by their prior support of obamacare but what they're really saying what the republican said before. there is no reason to rush through with this bill. there are provisions in the bill which are ill-conceived, which have consequences. you're ignoring those consequences. those consequences, are one, going to make obamacare not affordable and number two, it will deprive employees of insurance which the president had said employees could keep. martha: you know, i think that this is an argument that was going on since the very

harry reid might not even let it get to the floor of the senate but what about senator mary landrieu bill? we just showed a sound bite of her talking about it? >> well, not might he not, he won't let, excuse me the upton bill get to the floor of the house, the senate, rather. there is no way he would do that. in terms of the landrieu bill, that is a little tougher. at this point democratic leaders are saying no, that the administrative fix the president announced is enough. they're very worried. you bring this to the floor that opens it up for all kinds of tough votes, all kind of republican amendments, from the democratic point of view all kinds of mischief making. they will not support this at all. the own reason i have a caveat there, i think democratic leaders are waiting to see how much trouble these red state democrats are in, democrats facing re-election possibly in 2014. and you know, so they're leaving a little wiggle room whether they bring up the landrieu bill or some version of it, the upton bill, republican bill will pass the house today. no chance that gets to the senat
